As a lot of you know, I've started a new Wattpad novel.
*jubilation ensues*
I originally wanted to chat a little bit about it before I clicked "publish", but here we are, four chapters in, and I've coughed up nary a word.
So, I present to you (though rather anticlimactically, since you might've already read it)
"LAST FLIGHT TO L.A."
Before I ramble on about it, here's the synopsis:
Kelsey discovered the love of her life years ago: food. After pursuing several culinary internships, she ...

Hello friends!
Notice anything new?
I have been BURSTING to show you guys the new look and rebrand! Let me know what you think ^_^
"Why'd you do it?" you ask. Well, I'm really wanting to get serious about blogging again and sometimes you require the tectonic plates of the earth to shift in order to get you up and moving...hence the makeover.
I needed a fresh start to a new season that expresses where I am in life right now.
In case you're wondering, I haven't changed that much and this blog ...

It's been a bit!
I have to admit that I'd lost interest in blogging for quite a while because I felt so creatively drained. I've been writing a lot lately, but the blogging world has been kinda dark over the past few months.
It seemed like such a huge, daunting task to construct a coherent blog post.
Maybe that's a reflection of my brain recently.
Maybe I've been inhaling too much caffeine and couldn't sit down to think straight for more than 2 minutes.
Idk.
But I have ...

I have a lot of thoughts.
A lot of thoughts that make a lot of sense and no sense at all. But I think most of us are like that, so hopefully it'll actually make sense to you! XD
I've been striving to do better, to live better, to "move my life forward". I know who I am in Christ (although I'm not always sure where exactly to go) and I want to grow in Him.
I've had this drive to learn more than I ever have before, to do more, to be more productive, to be more creative.
I'm ...

"Are you going to college?"
"What do you want to do with your life?"
Today, we answer all of those stressful questions that disturb your sleep and plague your thoughts.
Why?
Because I have felt this burden so, so much. Those relatives/well-meaning church members unintentionally putting pressure on us teenagers? Yeah, I get it.
We have this noose over our head about where we want to go in life, what we want to do, and how to get there.
If you're like me, fresh out of high school and ...
